Bottle Top Memory Game

I've been seeing all kinds of great uses for bottle tops lately, for instance on this pin board. So, I decided to start collecting bottle tops a few months ago. Every day for the past month or so Bibs has asked me what we're going to do with our collection (and Trapper has been wondering too since the container I've been collecting them in is overflowing).

I went for something very simple.

Color memory game using bottle tops for pieces.

I used a circle punch & construction paper for the colors, then with a dab of glue we attached them to the insides of milk caps.

We're using a tin can for a container.

Here's the game in action.

We still have LOTS of bottle tops. I'm thinking we'll make magnets next... and then maybe stamps?
Here are three of my favorite books about colors, click on the book for more details.
